Hey Mrs. Solomon on Style

The plan had all the makings of success. Dress like a swaggy ballplayer! That is SO ME! Maybe I was too cocksure? (pun intended) I outfit planned, I took the photos, I didn’t examine too closely, and I prepared to have a wonderful week. Ever read the children’s book, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible No Good Very Bad Day? The line, “Some days are like that. Even in Australia.” Some days are like that. Even with outfit planning.

Some of you might know that I recently sold my marketing and advertising business to my former partner; I’d been the founder and chief creative officer for over eight years. One of the most frequent things I was called upon to do during that time was lead the development of brand DNAs. Why? Among other reasons, before doing any other work, you need an agreed upon measuring stick to judge it.

Nothing formal. Let’s chat. I’ve bought lots of Tibi Spring. We have the code needed to look at it all on the site. And we know sale’s coming. Here’s my take, piece by piece, so you can plan if it makes sense for you. As always, our subscriber chat is the best place to reach me with questions.

How to bring your personal style ... anywhere. [Just a note: paid subs, please scroll ALL the way down for my LA unpack, plus what I SHOULD have packed and skipped.] This week’s theme came by request of subscriber Kelly Minta. (Thanks, Kelly!)There’s been quite a bit of Tibi content around using the Tibi color wheel to dress by city. Good inspiration here.
